Arkin has asked the Senate to recommend that the Associated Men and Women Students Organizations publicly present their semi-secret judicial systems. Arkin wants each group to present their rules of procedure, limit of power and jurisdiction. and the all - important methods of selection.
Open It Fp He also wants to amend the constitution to open membership to all of the ASSC with the Senate giving the final approval.
The legality of Arkin's proposals will be decided when Young gives his report.
Chief opponents of the amendments are AMS and AWS presidents Ron Mitche 1 and Kathy Niemeyer. Mitchel 1 said, “This has 1o be defeated in the Senate. Judicial is not able to go over Senate laws. It is a responsible system set up to have the qualified students aid the administration in handling discipline cases ”
Constitutional Power The question of who holds oower over the Men's Judicial Courts is defined by the constitution of the court which says that, the power is derived directly from the president of the university with ASSC constitutional sanction.
If Young and his committee decide that Arkin's resolutions are sane, then the Senate will vote on their merit and the suggestions will then be passed on to the president.

Ex-Editor Views Death Of Wampus
The “where's the Wampus” wail was recently echoed at SC when Chuck Carr, business manager of the campus humor •magazine in 1939, returned to visit his former editorial offices in the Student Union.
He didn’t find Wampus because in the Fall of 1957 it was discontinued for financial reasons. In explaining this. Student Activity Advisor Dudley Johnson reported that, although there is real student enthusiasism for a humor magazine, the students don't support it financially. Johnson gave as an example the case of one student who buys an issue of the magazine and then passes it around to 20 of his friends. Thus Wampus is deprived of perhaps 20 additional ■ patrons.
Since the magazine cannot be supported solely by advertising or the University. Johnson recommends that student groups as-! sume some responsibility by sales | promotion. He adds that without this support Wampus cannot be part of the SC campus life that I it once was.

Marxist Preaches Socialism On Outskirts of SC Campus
By JOE SALTZMAN
Carrying a wooden soap box and. a flock of socialist newspapers, New York bred Tim Wohlforth brought his own private brand of “youth socialism” to the outskirts of the SC campus at noon yesterday.
Standing on the corner of 34th St. and Hoover Blvd. the young “editor, writer, lecturer and marxist,” talked to a passing crowd of students, teachers and othefc bystanders, expounding his theories on integration, war tactics, academic freedom, nuclear weapons, capitalism, oilwells and socialism.
His associate, Peter Allan, a UCLA student, continued passing out copies of their newspaper, “The Young Socialist,” and tried to get the attention of the passing crowd so that Wohlforth could speak.
Threw ’Em Away
Students took the news-paoers; some read it, some threw it away, but the majority filed it neatly in their notebook for future reference.
Through this confusion, Wohlforth lifted himself to the speaker’s stand and began shouting his message. Strangely enough a small crowd gathered and quietly
grew larger.
When questioned as to why they were watching Wohlforth speak, the majority of the crowd simply replied, “just curiosity.” Filtering through the crowd, Allan began selling subscriptions hoping to increase their national subscription audience to five thousand readers.
SC First Stop Since SC is the first leg of a national tour, the Young , Socialist editor talked for 20 minutes and attempted to preview his socialistic doctrines before an actual campus group.
His key topic, “The American Youth in a Revolutionary World,” was met with disapproval from the small crowd who were more amused than educated by these radical doctrines.
As one Student put it, “It was a great show.”
A university policeman looked painfully at the speaker from his campus position and said that he had already contacted the Los Angeles police department but that since the young socialist was not on the campus, neither official organi-z a t i o n could act because Wohlforth was operating under the provisions of the
Bike Thefts Hit Campus
The University Police warned : students to take extra care of j their bicycles on campus during I the first weeks of school because of a wave of bicycle thefts j which began Monday.
Several fraternities reported bicycles stolen from their property during the early morning hours and one student said that j a bicycle chained to a car was ] taken.
Author-Teacher Work Appears In New Book
Mrs. Frances L. Feldman visiting associate professor of social work at SC. is the author of one of five orginal papers included in a new book, “Work in the Lices of Married Women,” just published by the National Manpow er Council.
Mrs. Feldman, who wrote on “Supplementary Income Earned by Married Women,” reported that long-range economic planning in the family is usually based on the husband’s income, but “in many cases the salary earned by women is responsible for bringing total income into the
middle and higher brackets before the husband’s earnings alone reach those levels.”
She added that “automobile ownership holds a primary place in the spending pattern of young couples . . . TV ownership among young married couples attains a high level somewhat later than automobile ownership . . . Home I ownership comes later than television and increases with tne ¡age «f the couple, especially i when the husband is above 25 i years of age.
“free speech” acts of law.
One Los Angeles squad car unit passed by, smiled at the crowd and continued on its way.
When asked about the legality of this situation, they replied that all they could do was to “chase” the students out of the street where the maojrity of the crowd was standing.
Crowd Jeers Amidst the jeering crowd, Wohlforth shouted that the United States, “were entering a Third World War; not because of democracy, not because of patriotism, but because of the fact that peace costs too much:	it
costs too many oilwells and too many markets.”
“The American businessmen think first of their pocketbooks and then of their country,” he added.
Attacks Capitalism With a bitter attack on capitalism, Wohlforth commented on the near east, “what about the people who are kicked off American oil land;” the China crisis, “Madame Chiang Kai-shek is a motherly woman but she could start another war;” and about the freedom of ideas in our country, “we must talk out these problems even if our thinking is radical.”
When the rain had concluded their proceedings, one woman, Katey Graves, donned with umbrella and raincoat, began clapping and asking for subscription rates.
One Success Both socialists sold her a yearly subscription for one dollar.
Questioned about their “noisy” reception on the SC campus, they cheerfully said that it was what to be ex-p e ct e d in a “capitalistic world, where no one wants to hear an objective idea and a radical thinker.”
They picked up tne soapbox. put the excess papers in a paper envelope, and drove off.
A full investigation by the In- , ter-Fraternity Council will look into the series of charges brought forth by the Los Angeles Fire Department against a group of j SC students whose victory bonfire last Saturday morning resulted in the loss of fire-fighting equipment.
In a special report to be given this Thursday at the IFC meet- j ing. Gary Zimmerman, in accord j with IFC adviser John Burn and acting Dean of Students, Dr. Robert G. Gordon, announced that the report will have four major items:
More Investigates
(1) A Judicial Committee of, the IFC will investigate the taking of fire-fighting equipment and th?y will determine whether judicial action can or should be taken.
♦ 2 > A full report will be sent to all IFC members and will be posted in all the fraternity
houses.
<3> The IFC will work with the rally committee on celebra- ] tions follow ing the Trojan vie- !
tories.
t4l An investigation about the j possibility of ha' ing ?n area set aside on campus for bonfire celebrations will be held.
More Items
Additional items in the report includes determining and paying I the cost of the articles taken. 1 all of which have been returned with the exception of a four inch suction hose cap and a two and-one-half inch double male fit-I tine.
Dr. Gordon, attempting to find some wav in which SC students can celebrate their victories without resorting to this kind of action, suggested that a proper | facility be made so that bonfire I : celebrations can take place after a victorious night.
The official trio admitted that the celebration was spontaneous j and that the ensuing consequences were certainly not intentional.
Joe Preventer
The Los Angele^ Fire Department, through their spokesman. Joe Degenkolb, fire prevention engineer in the Public Safety Development Division, had indicated that criminal action might take place.
Thus far. none has been taken and all indications seem to point to the fact that none will be taken by the fire department.
In the past, SC organizations have tried to talk to the fire department concerning this matter. However, through differences of opinion, no definite plans were organized.
The entire situation has been left in IFC hands and their report will decide what action the university will take.
IFC Pending
Zimmerman, along with Adviser Burn and Dr. Gordon, in- ! corporated the IFCs actions in a detailed plan and the matter; is pending IFC action which will 1 he started at the meeting Thursday.
Dr. Gordon assured the student body and the Los Angeles Fire Department that the mat-vvould be handled quickly and ' efficiently.
Positive Steps
“Positive steps in educating the SC community about their responsibility in proper civic behavior will also be put into effect.” he said.
The key problem of the entire situation is that the fire-fighting
ASSC Veep Needs Girls
Twenty freshman and sophomore women are needed to serve as receptionists in the ASSC vice president's office for one hour per week.
Those women who are interested in serving their university and observing student government should sign up in room 230 SU this week, Nee< Mardy the O Mara said.

tiucks were “striDped” of their necessary equipment consequently disabling them for further action.
Degenkolb insisted that the real damage was the fact that while the students were playing and removing equipment, the fire-fighting unit was not abie to respond to any other fire that occurred.
Homecoming Petitions Due For Committee
Homecoming Chairman Willie Chong yesterday announced that all students interested in becoming a member of the 1958 Homecoming Committee should file a petition bv this afternoon in SU 225.
Chong said thar these petitions must be turned in by this deadline to be eligible for a position.

Chong explained, is due to the fact that Homecoming is only four weeks away and there is much planning and preparation that must be done. “With the Homecoming game on Oct. 18". he said, “we are already working under a severe time handicap and the quick organization of a committee is imperative.”
Chong also reminded campus living groups that all interviews for Homecoming positions will be held today and tomorrow and anyone applying for the committed should sign the interview list in the room.
